Figlio D'un Cane Lyrics in English by Ligabue
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Figlio D'un Cane by Ligabue from Italian to English.
Abituato a morso e fuga
Used to hit and run
Mi sporco di fango, catrame e di ruggine
I get dirty with mud, tar and rust
L'istinto mi spinge a un sole che mi asciuga
Instinct drives me to a sun that dries me
A un metro dalla grandine
A meter from the hail
Coccolato qualche volta
Cuddled sometimes
Da qualche signora che altro animale non ha
By some lady who has no other pet
Chiusa l'ennesima porta c'è la strada
Once the umpteenth door is closed, there's the road
E lei che dietro chiamerà
And she who will call from behind
E fra un po' si torna in calore e lo sai
And soon we'll be in heat again, and you know it
Che per qualcuno è comodo
That for someone it's convenient
C'è una cuccia, un osso e un padrone per noi
There's a dog bed, a bone and an owner for us
Identità figlio d'un cane, figlio d'un cane, figlio di cinque minuti
Identity son of a dog, son of a dog, son of five minutes
Identità figlio d'un cane, figlio d'un cane, figlio d'un equivoco
Identity son of a dog, son of a dog, son of a mistake
Identità figlio d'un cane, figlio d'un cane, figlio d'amplessi rubati
Identity son of a dog, son of a dog, son of stolen embraces
Identità figlio d'un cane, figlio d'un figlio d'un preservativo rotto
Identity son of a dog, son of a son of a broken c*ndom
E allora ululo ed alzo il bicchiere
And so I howl and raise my glass
Fra sassi, scarponi e bestemmie che tirano
Among stones, boots and curses that fly
Ed ululare è un sollievo e un piacere
And howling is a relief and a pleasure
Che almeno do fastidio un po'
That at least I bother a bit
E ogni tanto ciotole piene che poi
And every now and then full bowls, so then
Non brontoli lo stomaco
The stomach doesn't grumble
Briciole ed avanzi di ieri per noi
Crumbs and yesterday's leftovers for us
Identità figlio d'un cane, figlio d'un cane, figlio di cinque minuti
Identity son of a dog, son of a dog, son of five minutes
Identità figlio d'un cane, figlio d'un cane, figlio d'un equivoco
Identity son of a dog, son of a dog, son of a mistake
Identità figlio d'un cane, figlio d'un cane, figlio d'amplessi rubati
Identity son of a dog, son of a dog, son of stolen embraces
Identità figlio d'un cane, figlio d'un figlio d'un preservativo rotto
Identity son of a dog, son of a son of a broken c*ndom

ululo — I howl
Ululo means "I howl" in Italian. It's a vivid and evocative verb that immediately brings to mind the image of a wolf or a dog.
In this song, Ligabue uses "ululo" to express a primal, almost animalistic release of emotion. It's a powerful act of defiance and relief, a way to make noise and assert one's presence in a harsh world. This word captures the raw energy and rebellious spirit of the lyrics.
